"Yes Jason40 I also say thank you for all your dedication to our country. I don't know for sure but isn't there an eel pout festival in Walker around February sometime, the Leach Lake area would know when. \nDon't be discouraged about the cold weather and fishing. As long as a the pressure is steady for a while the fish adjust and do start biting again.  \n \nYesterday it was 7 above at 1:30pm, I decided to sit in my house. At 4pm I caught a small perch. 4:15 I caught a keeper perch at 10\" long. Somewhere between 5 and 5::30 I missed a good size fish, line got caught on a junk of ice by the hole, then I caught a 15\" walleye, I left at 6:30pm and it was -7 below. Like I said, the temps have been cold but 'steady cold' for a while. \nI'll be back out for the morning bite to see if I can catch the one that got away.  \n \nHappy fishing to you both! Diana \n"
